I don't want to compromise the security my browser offers (images and avis can be infected?!) but I have some files that I trust, that are safe, that sadly are not digitally signed.

I've unblocked the exe('s) in question, and unticked ask when opening the file, but still the prompt appears.

Is this a way of either

1) whitelisting certain paths (like file types via the policy editor), whilst still blocking "unsigned content"
(I thought it was just the option in IE options I've just read up on. now it sounds like there may be more to it, and I certainly don't wanna nuke my system, or expose myself unncessarily)

Thanks so much for this tutorial, Brink. Worked perfectly for the shortcuts I placed in the Links toolbar. Now if I could only have a folder (icon) on the taskbar that worked exactly like the Links toolbar.

Can I disable this just for a single file (not file type)? During startup, the Intel USB 3.0 monitor exe open file security warning always comes up and is very irritating. It doesn't have the checkbox on the lower-left wherein you can uncheck for that specific file.
